If the local authority sends you a form asking for information to help them determine who is responsible for paying the council tax for your house (the 'liable person'), you must complete and return it.

If you don't, you may face a penalty of £50. Similarly, failure to give details, when asked, about how many people are in the house may result in an incorrect bill being issued.
